Stefanie Elkins
Stefanie Elkins has over 20 years of diverse non-profit experience with a specialty in caregiving, eldercare, and end-of-life. In 2019, Stefanie founded Be Present Care, where she facilitates, and guides caregiving and end-of-life conversations, care plans, and programs for individuals and families as well as educating senior-focused professionals and organizations. Before starting her own company, Stefanie served as the Medical Outreach Manager, an integral part of the Compassion & Choices California Campaign team where she assisted in passing and then implementing the California End of Life Option Act, also known as Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) that was authorized in 2015. Merging her passions: love of craft beer and encouraging candid conversations on end-of-life, Stefanie founded Death over Drafts, a community event held at breweries across the United States and Canada to spark curiosity while “drafting” a new narrative of where and when we talk about death and dying.
