You can click the link "Add New Friend" at the top left of Friends page and enter her nickname in the box that comes up
This will invite her to be your Friend - she will need to accept. When she accepts, you will both go onto each other's Friends!

If you see a Post she made in the Discussion Forums:

Click her highlighted name to go to her PBS Profile and click there
If she has no nickname, you can click on her post to go to her account Bookshelf; click there
This will invite her to be your Friend - she will need to accept. When she accepts, you will both go onto each other's Friends!
