She attended UCR, BA and completed a degree in psychology. Currently Lee is attending the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in pursuit of a PhD in psychology.

She enjoys snowboarding, reading, hanging out with her friends, acting, and making creative works such as beading jewelry, painting, writing poetry,and photography. Lee received some of her martial arts training while at University of California, Riverside, and has completed a few exams under the JKA Japanese Karate Association. Since then she has taken privately trained lessons with stunt and martial arts coordinators.

In 2001, Patricia's hard work paid off as she got the lead female role in the Golden Harvest action adventure Extreme Challenge. Aside from acting, Patricia is also a voice actor, showcasing her voice in many English dubbed adaptations of Japanese anime.

She portrays Haruhi Suzumiya in a series of live-action promotional videos launched by Bandai Entertainment on December 22, 2006 to announce the R1 license of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Here, she is credited as Patricia Lee, although she referred to herself as Patricia Ja Lee in the first videos. Before the animated series' English cast was announced, it was speculated that she might be the voice of Haruhi as well.
