To add to what everybody else is saying, have you looked into other media that explores the idea of sentient zombies? One of my absolute favorites would be Day of the Dead, who was only vaguely able to remember being human. He ends up being the most endearing character in the film, and he'sonly barely human. You also can look to the zombies of the Return of the Living Dead series, who were fully sentient and capable of speech, but found being undead so painful that they required the endorphins from fresh brains in order to numb the pain of their existence.
Hell, you could probably count Frankenstein's monster as something of a zombie. Just looking into how other people have explored the idea of a sentient zombie, expanding your reference pool, seeing what other people do and expanding on that. Hell, even the zombie from HinaBN still comes off as something of a living ghost that has a detachment from humanity, just kind of cooly observing what the other characters do with passing interest. Your zombie girl is simply too human.
First thing I'd do? Make her look like a rotting corpse. Maybe have whatever story she's in, she starts to decay and maybe bloat more and more as time passes. One thing I liked about Marvel Zombies is that they had the zombie superheros griping over how being dead was affection their bodies, such as their blood pooling into their lower limbs due to gravity. Stuff like that.
