Yes she’s Trichonephila clavipes. The taxonomy changed in recent years. It is now family Araneidae, genus Trichonephila, specific Clavipes https://spiderid.com/spider/araneidae/trichonephila/

The Taxonomy guide in the three bar menu on this site can be accessed without losing what you are writing. It might vary by browser. It’s a convenient way for me to check the way I’m spelling a name in mid-sentence. 😉 When I started doing this I didn’t know that and I messed up the spelling of lots of Latin names.
