Born in San Jose, Patricia Wei is a 17-year-old incoming senior at Lynbrook High School. She has a strong passion for creating films and writing stories for her school newspaper. She loves listening to “chill rock” music, especially songs by Phora and other artists from the 2000s. Patricia played varsity high school tennis her freshman year but stopped to spend more time with her family after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her favorite journalism memory is her story on vaping. When it came time to interview someone she knew who vaped, she realized she would rather write a feature about his life because of all the amazing stories he told her. At Mosaic, she hopes to cover many events happening in the community and hopes to be immersed in the city’s rich culture.
