Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is one of the Funnel Weavers, looks like an Eratagina sp. similar to or possibly the Giant House Spider E. atrica. Or maybe Tengenaria, I can’t see it too clearly.

It’s not anything to worry over. She’s just in there catching other bugs you’d probably also rather not have. You can reduce the number of spiders and bugs you see indoors by sealing cracks around floors, doors, windows, foundation etc., vacuum everywhere and empty the canister outside.
