===Ambitions and Goals===
===Ambitions and Goals===
Quinn's ambitions and goals have been fluid in recent years and continue to be soOne day, she hopes that she can learn to shake off her discomfort in social situations and function more normally around other people.  
Quinn is not the most ambitious of Starfleet officers; she has no desire to command a starship or facility and does not dream of one day holding the rank of Admiral.  Her goals in the fleet are limited to keeping the people that are her responsibility safe and doing her job to the best of her abilityShe is also currently striving to improve her own self-defence skills, after several incidents where they were found lacking.
 
In her personal life, she still strives to shake off her self-conscious and shy nature and become more confident in social situations and around people that she does not know.  


===Personal Achievements and Disappointments===
===Personal Achievements and Disappointments===
Quinn has a somewhat unusual relationship with her personal achievements; despite being the holder of two PhD's and several years of Research and Design experience at Utopia Planitia shipyards, she does not view these as particularly great accomplishments.  Rather, they were something she was expected to achieve, were well within her abilities and so she tends brush off any attention regarding them, even appearing arrogant to some.  The one thing she is genuinely proud of is her acceptance to and graduation from Starfleet Academy.  She found the theoretical work easy, but many other aspects of the Academy's curriculum were a struggle to Quinn and she had to work hard to pass them.

She finds her assignment to Starfleet Intelligence a struggle, and while she shines in the analytical work that she carries out, Quinn finds field work much more difficult and is disappointed with her performance in that area. 
 
===Living Quarters===
Inhabiting one of the rarer [[StarBase 118 Habitat Areas|"privacy style"]] residences on the outer ring of the station (thus possessing genuine windows in the exterior walls), Quinn's two-floor, two-bedroom quarters are simply and sparsely decorated.  The interior is plain and neutral in colour and she has nothing in the way of paintings, pictures, sculptures or textiles.  There is, however, an abundance of plants, both mundane and exotic, and a variety of technically accurate starship models.


Her greatest disappointment is her continuing battle with her shyness; she had hoped that her time at Starfleet Academy would wipe it away.  Though she doesn't struggle in the same way as she used to, Quinn still finds socialising difficult.
The quarters are arranged with an entranceway, kitchen/diner, living room, small study and bathroom on the ground floor, with the two bedrooms (one with an en suite) on the first floor.

[[Image: Intelligence liason office.jpg|thumb|Quinn's Office]]Quinn's primary work area is the Intelligence Liaison Office, situated on Deck 8 of the Starbase's [[StarBase 118 Command Center|Command Centre]].  The corridor access does not lead directly into her office, but rather into a small reception area that her Yeoman, Petty Officer (1st Class) Tsao works from.  Due to the classified nature of much of the information that reaches her desk, she operates a closed door policy and any visitors must request access, either through Tsao or by ringing the inner door chime.  The door is locked at all times when she is out of the office.

Due to the classified nature of much of the information that reaches her desk, she operates a closed door policy and any visitors must request access, either through Tsao or by ringing the inner door chime.  The door is locked at all times when she is out of the office.


She also maintains an office inside the [[StarBase 118 Black Tower|Black Tower]], and can less commonly be found there (at least by those with the appropriate clearances), conferring and liaising with her Intelligence colleagues.
