32 lands is not very many. I usually run 35 or 36 with average cmc of like 2, this deck probably needs more with less card draw and higher curve.

I've only played her about three time now. So far I haven't had an issue, just lucky I guess. But you aren't the first to mention it to me. And I think I will add in some more  but deciding on what to exchange for it will be tough.

I used to run ~37-38 and cutting too many is a bad idea... but it also gives you a high (well, even higher) chance of drawing a bunch in a row late game when you need more stuff. I've actually started cutting a couple in favour of more fast mana rocks, and just trying to mulligan more smartly. You can also consider the cycling lands and the double-faced ones, but these enter tapped which is a big drawback in and of itself (I think they are less bad in monowhite if you have a lot of untapped basics still and recursion, so you can cycle them then still get them into play, but still).

The other posters are right. Running 32 lands with hardly any rocks with an avg mana curve of (3.88 avg.). Yes you haven't had issues but you will run into issues plus you won't be casting lots of stuff it usually will only be 1 card per turn.
