Judy Elkins was, while employed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), an animator on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and, ten years later, a visual effects coordinator for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which has earned her the right to be the namesake for the USS Elkins.

As a Bachelor of Fine Art graduate from the University of Texas at Austin, she started her professional career at ILM as animator, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) being her first recorded credit. As such she worked on Dragonslayer in the same year. The Wrath of Khan and Poltergeist followed suit the subsequent year. One year later, in 1983, she was a key sculptor on Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. She then honed her skills by diversifying into the field of motion control photography, by becoming a motion control (assistant) camera operator for productions such as, The Abyss (1989) and Total Recall (1990), in the employ of Dream Quest Images. While in the employ of Boss Film Studios during the latter half of 1989, she worked as such on The Hunt for Red October (with a slew of other Star Trek alumni), though she went uncredited for none of these productions. Nevertheless, it was sufficient for her, to secure her position as visual effects coordinator on the Deep Space Nine-series in 1993.

While employed there, Elkins would share four Emmy Award nominations for her work on DS9. She was nominated for the episodes "The Way of the Warrior", "Trials and Tribble-ations", "One Little Ship" and "What You Leave Behind".

After Deep Space Nine, Elkins has garnered few additional motion picture credits. As "visual effects coordinator/producer", she worked on the television show MythQuest (2001) and the television movie Idiocracy (2006), though she has worked as visual effects coordinator on the Star Trek-spoof, Galaxy Quest (1999).
