Kelly O’Toole
Visitor Experience Specialist
Kelly O’Toole serves as the Front Desk/Visitor Experience Specialist and joined the CVB staff in August 2022. She grew up about an hour north of Grand Haven, and after spending several years in the middle, northern, and eastern parts of Michigan’s mitten, she returned to West Michigan to live in the Grand Haven Area. To Kelly, Lake Michigan life is the best life. When she’s not giving 110% to assist visitors in experiencing the ultimate stay in the Grand Haven area, Kelly enjoys reading, writing, and walking the many beautiful local parks.
