Paula and Ted Steen

Practice Manager, Front Desk Technician

Paula is our Practice Manager and Ted is our Front Desk Tech. They have both been in the corporate world before but decided to follow their hearts to work with animals. They have been part of the SFPC family for many years now. In their spare time, they love watching Anime together and taking extra long walks around Olathe. They don’t have any pets anymore but take care of all the pets here like they were their own. Especially this cute girl, Evie.

Becca

Vet Tech

After spending 13 years in retail/retail management, Becca realized her passion was not there but for the animals big small, and everything in-between. In 2018, she began her journey in veterinarian medicine & has loved it ever since. She thinks every kiddo has a unique personality and loves to see it shine through while they are in her care. Becca’s husband Darren and she have been together for 12 years in total, married for 8 years & they have 2 fur kiddos. Tipton (Pom mix) 6yrs old, & Kayde (Pointer mix) 3yrs old. They also have their little girl Peyton 2 & 1/2 yrs old who truly is a blessing from God. Outside the clinic, Becca loves to read, do yoga, and if the weather permits take all her babes on a walk while she listens to a podcast. Becca joined Santa Fe Pet Clinic in December ’22 so if she hasn’t met you or your fur kiddo, stop in and say hello! She’ll be there every day except Thursdays and weekends and she can’t wait to see you and your furry family member.
