In the sixth grade, she auditioned at the Young Actors Studio where she performed for the program's director, Linda Seto, and representatives from the Osbrink Talent Agency. After six months of "intensive [acting] training", Quinn signed a contract with the Osbrink agency. Subsequently, she signed with Management 360.[4] Since 2009 she has starred in the ABC drama/mystery series Castle as Alexis Castle, the main character's daughter.
