Hi. this is just a harmless orb weaver maybe cross orb weaver or cat-faced spider. Let her stay, she will come out at dusk and make one of those fancy orb webs. Near the light,it will attract flying insects to her web.
These are very harmless spiders, I welcome them.
Actually quite common, you look for them after sundown you are sure to spot them.
