This is a juvenile and that makes ID difficult. My first hunch is St. Andrews cross spider, Argiope keyserlingi.

Again, this is hard to identify. It is certainly Argiope genus. The A. keyserlingi is one species I see most. Based on stablementum in the web and habitus of the spider.
A good candidate would be Argiope argentata, they often set up that cross stablementum, and sit with their legs paired in cross fasion.
Keep her around, perhaps in a month and a photo of her dorsum, she should be identifiable.
