Jennifer Stone was a familiar face for an entire generation as Harper Finkle, Alex Russo’s best friend to Selena Gomez on ‘Wizards of Waverly Place,’ but after the series ended in 2012, she gradually moved away from acting. A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes motivated her to pursue a career in nursing, and in 2024 she told People, “I said, OK, let me go from majoring in psychology to majoring in something where I can better understand myself and what’s going on with my body and also be able to help people.” She is now a registered nurse who also co-hosted the Wizards of Waverly podcast alongside former 2024 co-star David DeLuise.
