Associate editor Katie Derdoski hails proudly from West St. Paul and is always on the prowl to ensure that the best the east side's got to offer gets some love. A graduate of the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities with a degree in journalism and political science, she’s a pop culture and politics junkie (not that the two don’t coexist), reads to excess, tries out every new product she can get her hands on, and adores live music—one of her favorite haunts being the Turf Club.
