Through Triage Cancer’s Speakers Bureau, cancer centers, hospitals, cancer organizations, and other groups that are coordinating educational events or cancer conferences can be connected with expert speakers on various cancer survivorship issues.
Triage Cancer's Speakers Bureau also includes cancer survivors and caregivers who have experience sharing their cancer journey with a variety of audiences. If you are planning an event, it is a good idea to request speakers as early as possible. Some of our speakers are often booked months in advance.
Below you can learn more about each speaker, sort speakers by particular areas of expertise, request a speaker directly, and read about potential topics that you may want to include in your next event!
Dr. Sage Bolte lives in Northern Virginia with her husband Jeff and their three children. She is a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in how cancer and its treatments affect the sexual self and relationships in persons of all ages, at all stages of cancer survivorship. She has done numerous national and international presentations and has also contributed to a number of publications on this topic. In 2008, Dr. Bolte received the American Cancer Society’s Doctoral Training Grant.
In addition to sexual health research and education, Dr. Bolte has spent the last several years of her career exploring the needs of two of the most under-recognized and under-served populations: young adults and those living with a chronic or incurable cancer. She hopes to continue to explore the unique psychosocial support needs of both of these populations.
Sage received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Hope College in both Psychology and Social Work and later received her Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. She has served as adjunct faculty at both The Catholic University of America and George Mason University. She received her PhD in Social Work from The Catholic University of America School of Social Service where her dissertation explored the sexual selves of young adult cancer survivors as compared to their healthy peers.
Sage is currently an oncology counselor at Life with Cancer, a not for profit INOVA Cancer Services program and an educator at Capital Caring a palliative and hospice care organization.
Topics: Sexuality & Intimacy.
