Jennifer Stone starred in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place for four seasons and went on to study psychology in 2012 after the show ended. In 2013, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and changed her career trajectory from psychology to nursing.

“Since her diabetes diagnosis, she has since graduated from nursing school and is now working in the ER at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank — though she still manages to keep one foot in acting. While on summer break from nursing school she shot the road trip drama The In-Between and then got back into her scrubs when the shoot was over.”
