In March 2020, Colón transitioned into labor and employment law full time. More recently, she co-founded the firm’s workplace diversity, equity and inclusion team, a subgroup of the firm’s labor and employment practice. 

Colón is also the co-chair of Husch Blackwell’s employee resource group for Latinx attorneys and staff. She is also a member of the firm’s recruiting committee, acts as the diversity liaison for the firm’s summer associates in Milwaukee and is a committee member on the firm’s Executive DEI Committee. 

Additionally, Colón is the co-founder and secretary of the National Association of Latino Healthcare Executives – Wisconsin Chapter and is a board member for the Wisconsin Hispanic Lawyers Association.
