Below Deck stars rejoiced when Sailing Yacht Season 2 alum Dani Soares announced she finally graduated from nursing school.
Dani Soares was a second stew on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2, but she has since pivoted to a nursing career. She has daughter Lilly, whose father is her costar Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux, and isn’t in the picture.
In an Instagram post from May 1, she revealed that she graduated nursing school after her hard work and dedication.
Dani shared a photo of herself standing next to her daughter while wearing a cap and gown and holding her diploma.
“There are so many people I would like to thank for helping me get to this place. It wasn’t easy, and I had an incredible amount of help and am very lucky to have amazing people in my life who helped me through this,” she wrote in the caption. “Just know that I will never forget your help and your kindness.”
