I actually thought it might be an emerald green jumping spider. Idk the anatomical name, and it might just be different common names for the same spider.

Wildly, yes. I think the scientific name refers to gold, your spider has lots of gold. And it has the emerald green of the common name too. this is a pretty species. 🙂
