She’s an Orbweaver in family Aranidae. They make the classic orb (circle) webs that are used as a common pattern on Halloween decorations. They aren’t dangerous to people. Flying nocturnal insects are their primary prey. We identify them from photos based on their dorsal markings. Yours is ventral (underside). My best guess would be Neoscona crucifera, a Hentz Orbweaver.
