A daughter of lavender farmers at Emu Bay on Kangaroo Island, Patterson played childhood cricket against boys, and credits that experience for her rise in women's cricket.[3]

In the final of the 2015–16 Women's National Cricket League competition, Patterson scored 76 to anchor the South Australian Scorpions' innings of 7 for 264 against the New South Wales Breakers. The Scorpions won the match by 54 runs, thus ending New South Wales' 10-year grip on the WNCL trophy.[4]

Patterson has been a member of the Adelaide Strikers' squad since its inaugural WBBL01 season (2015–16).[5] Her run-out of Molly Strano of the Melbourne Renegades during the Strikers' opening match of its WBBL02 campaign has been described as one of the highlights of that campaign.[6]

In September 2018, Patterson achieved her maiden century for South Australia, by scoring a player-of-the-match-winning 109 off 131 balls in the Scorpions' opening round WNCL 2018–19 victory over the Western Fury.[7]

In November 2018, she was named in the Adelaide Strikers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[8][9]
