After weeks of competition and eliminations, Gil won the grand prize of $200,000 and a contract with Univision and earned the title of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2009.

She was raised in the town of San Antonio de Las Vegas by her mother Kenya Nimo and her grandmother Blanca Rosa Piñero.

Her father, Esnel Gil, emigrated to the United States in 1980 during the Mariel exodus without having the opportunity to return to Cuba or to meet Greidys until 14 years later.

She later went back to school but this time she enrolled at the University of Jose Antonio Echevarria where she graduated with a degree in industrial engineering.

From 2009 to 2011, Gil was awarded an exclusive contract with Univision, representing the Network in all of its events in and out of the United States and worked as jury, reporter or co-host.

In 2012, she was recognized in Exponica Internacional, Feria de las Americas XXII Aniversario, for her artistic capabilities as well as support and participation in the Hispanic community.
