Depends. She may have never learned if she was removed from mom and siblings too young, in which case it is you that teaches her control. To do this (usually when they are young), I just hiss or “OW!” And remove my attention from them as soon as it happens. Eventually they understand.
Alternatively, you may be over stimulating her and she bites to say stop.
My cats never reacted to me making pain noises (hissing worked but scared them so I do not like) but I found a soft, quiet, "geeentle" calmed them down. They are well enough trained now I can say gentle as a pseudo-command to break up a fight if play wrestling gets too rough or stop a jump one of them is planning on the other lol

My cat does bite me randomly, but it's very hard and often breaks skin. Does she just not realize how rough she is?
