Those seem like some rather weak 1st level spells.
Burning Hands, Cause Fear, Charm Person, Enlarge Person, Obscuring Mist, Web Bolt all seem like better choices than Ear Piercing Scream or Frostbite.
I also agree that you don't need to buy a 14 CON as an Elf. 12 is plenty. Unless you specifically need a 15 DEX or 13 WIS for something, you don't want an odd score in those abilities. As a witch all of your level-up attribute bonuses should be going into INT.
STR 7, DEX 16, CON 12, INT 20, WIS 12, CHA 7
That is similar to what you came up with, just a little better.
Why did you choose the Raven as your familiar? The Greensting Scorpion or Compsognathus would get you a +4 to initiative. If you wanted a talking familiar, the Thrush gets you a +3 to diplomacy, which is better than a +3 to appraise.

First welcome....hope u have fun!
A few unknowns.
Is the campaign going to be bumped up in difficulty?
Stats:
You may not require a 20 starting Int, maybe a 19?
A 14 Con for an elf is quite high, maybe a 13 instead?
A elf gets +dex...can you start with a 14 (16 after racial)? Initiative is life.
Take some social skills.
Spells:
Ear Piercing Scream is fine.
Mage Armor is fine.
I favor Snowball over Frostbite. Scaling damage plus stagger with a SR bypass.
Ill Omen is an excellent choice.
Infernal Healing is a cost-effective healing spell.
Reduce Person bumps your AC by 2, your touch attack by 2.
Blood Money can break the game.
Beguiling Gift can be a great roleplay tool and a non-lethal option if your Slumber fails.
Feats:
Your save DC for hexes is already high...Accursed Hex may be worth taking first. If your hex fails...you get to try again next round. A re-roll is ~ +4 bonus.
Familiar: Thrush for Diplomacy...Scorpy or Rabbit or Compsagnathus for init.
16 dex with init pet and reactionary trait is +9 init without Imp Init feat and is pretty good at level 1. Plus the dex helps your touch attack.

Wow nice tips guys!
I wanted the Compsognathus but unfortunately, I have not purchased bestiary 2 in herolab so I do not have access to it. I will switch to the scorpion.
My Patron is Shadow... as it seemed to be one of the better ones to help protect myself.
I checked the CRB and I'm only allowed 2 bonus spells with 20 int.
My stats are changed too! 16 dex, 12 con and 8 in str/cha.
My witch is all about controlling the battleground.
We have:
Melee Monk
Melee Fighter
Melee Ninja
Alchemist
Witch (me)
We have to be near lawful evil worshipping Asmodeus.
Is accursed hex really much better than ability focus?
