I was in one of Disney’s biggest shows of the noughties but I quit fame to be a nurse and I love it

LIFE has changed a lot for one star of Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place, who has ditched acting for a more selfless job.

Jennifer Stone is best known for playing Harper Finkle on the show, starring alongside pop superstar Selena Gomez.

The actress has since swapped acting for a very different career as a nurse.

But often keeps her life away from the spotlight but does keep her fans updated, letting fans get a small glimpse into her private life.

The 30-year-old quit Hollywood to go to college, where she first studied psychology and then switched over to nursing.

Since starring in all four seasons of Wizard of Waverly Place as Harper, Alex Russo's (Selena Gomez) best friend who wore eccentric clothing, Jennifer has only starred in a few roles since.

Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, Wizards of Waverly Place: Alex Vs. Alex, Mean Girls 2, Dadnapped, Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars, and Deadtime Stories are only a few of the roles Jennifer took on.

Her family highly valued getting a degree and she didn't want to be the only one without one, so she turned her focus to school.

But during her early 20s Jennifer was diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), which is sometimes referred to as 1.5 type Diabetes.

She left acting shortly after getting her diagnosis.

That same year, she shared her story on the  and how her diagnosis affected her life and career.

On top of dealing with her diagnosis and trying to keep her life private, Jennifer got thrown with another crisis- COVID-19.

She graduated from nursing school and is now working in the ER at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, as of 2020,
