Hi, my name is Yasmine Fellahi. I am 25 years old, and I have been studying at Ahuntsic College for two years. I am studying Geomatics Geodesy, and it is defined as the discipline concerned with the collection, distribution, storage, analysis, and presentation of geographic data or geographic information.
