Looks like Steatoda to me, but it can be hard to tell between grossa and triangulosa sometimes.
Hi, and welcome to the site. Your spider is a cobweb spider, family Theridiidae,Steaoda triangulosa species. While no considered dangerous, they are venomous and some may have a reaction to heir bite.
They are not prone biters, but can if trapped against the skin or mishandled.
