As far as I’m aware, she doesn’t prefer to be bound by a label and prefers to follow her values whether they fit with a party/organization or not. She does not call herself a democratic socialist but has said that she doesn’t mind people doing so.
I don’t know that it has come up because we do not have a substantial DSA presence here and I haven’t listened to/read every interview she’s done. However, she seems to be exceptionally pragmatic in trying to achieve her goals (sometimes to the displeasure of people who would prefer action without planning), so I would be surprised if the answer was that she is not open to doing so.
Worth mentioning that we also have a democratic socialist mayor here in Seattle–she’s just not a member of the organization.
Nice. Can I ask why, does she have some ideological differences or whats the deal in your estimation?

Do her values substantially depart from the well-known DSA ones like universal healthcare for example?
Has she indicated at least being open to allying with them for that which she and DSA are at least ostensibly aligned?
No.
