Jennifer Hendricks-Fogg
Jennifer F. Hendricks-Fogg is a seasoned Aflac Benefits Advisor with over 13 years of experience helping businesses and individuals prepare for the unexpected. Recognized by Aflac’s CEO for her outstanding contributions—particularly around the cancer plan—Jennifer brings a deep, personal understanding to her work. Her passion for protection and preparation stems from her own journey as a cancer mom, after her son Logan was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor at just three months old. That experience forever changed how she shows up for her clients, making her approach both personal and impactful.
Inspired by Logan’s strength and the challenges they’ve overcome as a family, Jennifer and her husband founded the Logan Strong Foundation in 2018. The foundation is dedicated to supporting families facing childhood cancer and other serious illnesses—offering practical support, advocacy, and moments of joy during the darkest times. Through the foundation’s growing impact, Jennifer found her voice as an advocate, community leader, and connector.
That advocacy naturally evolved into her work as a Certified Special Needs Life Quality Coach, speaker, and author. In her coaching and on stage, Jennifer shares real, raw, and empowering insights for caregivers, professionals, and families navigating complex medical and developmental journeys. Her book, Tiny Miracles: A Mother’s Journey of Finding Faith through Childhood Cancer, is both a love letter and a lifeline to families facing unimaginable odds.
Whether she’s sitting with a business owner discussing benefit options, comforting a newly diagnosed parent, or speaking to a room full of professionals, Jennifer’s message is consistent: resilience is real, preparation is powerful, and every story—no matter how hard—has purpose.
Val Dzhurenko-Kiorkiian
Val Dzhurenko-Kiorkiian has nurtured a lifelong love for dance. His journey began at the age of six in his hometown of Vinnytsia, Ukraine, where he immersed himself in international Standard ballroom and Latin dance. Surrounded by talented dancers, Val’s passion was ignited early on and steadily grew into a professional career.
He earned a WDO license, serving as a judge for amateur couples in major dance championships throughout Europe. A graduate in Physical Education and Sports, Val brought an Olympic-style philosophy to his judging—evaluating dancers based on Performance, Technique, Choreography, Creativity, and Presentation. He later obtained an Associate degree in Ballroom and Latin Choreography from Kyiv National University of Physical Education and Sport.
Val’s professional path has taken him across Europe, where he choreographed and performed original routines in countries such as Spain, Poland, and Bulgaria. In 2022, he joined Fred Astaire Dance Studios, where he completed an intensive training program to earn certifications in both American Smooth and American Rhythm. His expertise also includes Argentine tango, salsa, and various club dances.
Val enjoys teaching students of all ages—from young children to adults—and has a special passion for wedding choreography, helping couples create unforgettable first dances. He currently competes in Professional American Smooth alongside his wife, Anastasiia, at regional Fred Astaire Championships.
Off the dance floor, Val enjoys nature walks with his dogs, playing video games, watching movies, and exploring new trails.
