I agree that you are very mature for your age. The dragon is definitely in better hands now.
If you don't have a UVB light, you can try taking her outside for an hour or so of natural sunlight. I'm not sure how well she moves, but if she's capable of bolting, you would probably want to put her in a tub. You can try this every day (if it's hot outside try doing so in the morning or early evening) until you can get your hands on a good UVB light.
If you have a couple of shoeboxes around, you can also use those as temporary hides. I use those when Darwin is brumating (which I think is coming up soon) and it's really easy to just fold back a side of it for an entrance.
She might have a bit of relocation stress so if she doesn't eat for a week or two, it's nothing to worry about. Just keep her hydrated with baths. I would recommend taking the water bowl out of her cage. It could raise humidity in the tank which could lead to a respiratory infection. Try soaking her in the sink or in a tub with warm water instead for about 10-20 minutes. If she drinks, you could take her out sooner.
I've noticed that beardies who've been rescued have a remarkable spirit to them so I'm glad she's getting a second chance with you! Did the previous owners tell you how old she might be?
