With some people, there's nothing you could do. If she doesn't enjoy it, it's just not going to work, regardless of what you say or do. I think, before pushing things at her to do, talk to her about it, see how she really feels, and then go from there. Offer to work with her on the first few things, if possible.
I have a feeling that if you just "give" her things to work on, she'll feel like she's being pushed, and may rebel. Maybe have a couple of hours time to set aside for the both of you to work on something together to get her started.
