A Day in the Life of Anne Castille Buisson, MBAn ’24

Anne Castille Buisson loves the versatility of data science.

“Data can be applied to any industry, giving me the freedom not to restrict myself to one field,” said Buisson, a member of the 2024 MIT Sloan Master of Business Analytics class.

Buisson, who grew up in Spain, completed an MEng degree at Imperial College London and spent a year abroad at the National University of Singapore, realized she didn’t want to be an engineer. With a desire to both explore the United States and complete a “relatively short” data science program, the MIT Sloan MBAn program – at 12 months long – was her ideal choice.

A hands-on learning experience was also crucial, and Buisson cited the program’s two industry projects – the Analytics Lab in the fall semester and the Capstone project in the spring and summer semesters – as additional reasons she chose MIT Sloan.

“The program has been an amazing experience. I've gained deep insights into cutting-edge technologies and had the chance to connect and network with industry leaders. I have been completely struck by the rapid advancements in generative AI and taking courses or working on projects related to deep learning has been a rewarding experience,” Buisson said.

Buisson also dove right into MIT Sloan's extracurriculars. As the MBAn class president, Buisson is a member of the MIT Sloan Senate, which meets weekly to discuss school projects and improvements, and the MBAn Leadership Council. She’s attended various conferences on data science, machine learning, and AI. In her spare time, she’s tried other activities like badminton and K-pop dancing.

For anyone considering the MBAn program, Buisson recommended reaching out to students or alumni directly. “It’s a fantastic opportunity, so don’t ever be afraid to apply!”
