In 2009, she had a voice role in the Disney Channel Original Movie Dadnapped. She also lent her voice to Phineas and Ferb as the voice of Amanda, Candace's daughter in the future in two episodes. In 2010, she played Harriet in the film Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars, based on the book of the same title by Louise Fitzhugh, which she later admitted she had not read before starring in the film. She later starred in the film Nothing Left to Fear and the television film High School Possession.[citation needed]
Nursing
Stone is a registered nurse.[5][6] In July 2019, Stone testifed before the Senate for the JDRF, describing her experience with diabetes.[7] Stone finished nursing school in December 2019, as news of the COVID-19 pandemic broke, and she mentioned in several interviews that she would be "joining the front lines" on the fight against the disease.[8][9] As of 2021[update], Stone made regular Instagram updates about her work in the hospital.[10] As of August 2022[update], she was working in the emergency room at a hospital in Burbank.[11]
Personal life
Stone was diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), also sometimes referred to as Type 1.5 diabetes, when she was 20 years old. She left acting at that time to study for a university degree, first in psychology and later switching to nursing, so that she could get a better understanding of her disease.[12] In January 2018, she was interviewed on the Diabetes Connections podcast about her diagnosis, and how it has affected her life and career.[13] In 2022, she appeared as a spokesperson for Medtronic's insulin pen product.[14]
