You may want to keep her away from the door so that she gets introduced to the person once the person is inside. This may settle the excitement and make it less likely for her to jump. You can also use a spray bottle with water and say "No!" and then if she jumps, spray her. Make sure you always say "no" first, so your dog can make the connection. If this does not work, you may want to consult with a dog trainer.
