[[Image:UtopiaPlanitiaFleetYards.jpg|thumb|Utopia Planitia Shipyard]]Life as a teenager was considerably more settled for Quinn, barring the incident that resulted in a three month stay in the same hospital as her mother. In her early teenage years she continued to study, now applying her prodigious intellect to the study of a physics doctorate and later, post-doctoral studies. Though still isolated from many of her peers due to the significant age difference, she had by then learned to cope with her loneliness; she threw herself into her studies with almost alarming intensity, rarely taking holidays unless coerced into it, and if she wasn't working, she was playing the piano or tending to the multitude of plants she kept around her. | [[Image:UtopiaPlanitiaFleetYards.jpg|thumb|Utopia Planitia Shipyard]]Life as a teenager was considerably more settled for Quinn, barring the incident involving the Betazoid Ashan that resulted in a three month stay in the same hospital as her mother.

Quinn's prior applications to work with the Theoretical Propulsion Group at Utopia Planitia had been refused, but once she reached the age of sixteen she was finally offered a position as a Junior Research Engineer and moved back to her father's home on Mars. She found the work she undertook interesting, but it was a continuing major source of frustration and disappointment to the young woman that her ideas were frequently dismissed due to her youth. Growing dissatisfaction with her job and ability to contribute made Quinn consider a change in profession and so at the age of twenty, she made her application to Starfleet. | Quinn's prior applications to work with the Theoretical Propulsion Group at Utopia Planitia had been refused, but once she reached the age of sixteen she was finally offered a position as a Junior Research Engineer and moved back to her father's home on Mars.
