Meet our team

My name is Jennifer Torres and I began working at Professional Interpreters Inc. in June 2016 while I was still in high school as a data entry specialist. Now that I’m in college, my current position is payroll and administrative assistant. When I’m not at school or work, I’m usually out with friends or spending time with my younger brothers. I love what Professional Interpreters Inc. stands for and that I’m able to help my community alongside an amazing team!

My name is Israel Galán, Oregon born and bred. I enjoy exploration when the opportunity arises; traveling is definitely on my bucket list. I’m an adrenaline seeker, but also appreciate personal connections with family and friends. If you know of any good movies please send them my way! My younger sisters and I live for movie nights. Since working with Professional Interpreters, Inc. I have connected with more community members than ever before. Our language services will continue to impact patients & providers all over the state.

I’m Melissa Evangelista Vargas and I began my time at Professional Interpreters Inc. soon after I finished my bachelors degree at Western Oregon University. I plan to pursue a career in the medical field in the near future, but meanwhile I am able to help my community by creating a bridge to an existing language barrier. Such a rewarding experience, also provides me with self growth and the opportunity to work with amazing people beside me.
