Quarles always knew she was destined for a journalism career. She told Haute Living that one of her earliest inspirations was her father, a newspaper publisher. "I grew up in the print side of journalism and we moved all over the country, because he would take over papers and then we'd move on," she said. "I remember being little and running home to watch 20/20 on Fridays. I love Christiane Amanpour and Barbara Walters."
Quarles continued, "I love the art of storytelling, I love bringing news to people that otherwise wouldn't get it. I love the excitement that comes with journalism; you're not just sitting in your office everyday. And then seeing my father's passion for it and what he was able to do for the community and all the opportunities it allowed our family... I always knew I wanted to be a journalist."
