First thing that pops out is your experience is too qualitative - try and quantify it wherever possible. When reading your resume, there is no way to tell if you were terrible or great at your job based on the very generic info you have provided. Try use the format did abc which led to xyz where possible, or at the least include reasoning for why you did what you did/what the purpose was. Some will say formatting is an issue because people here live by the standard format so that could also change but probably isn't a huge deal
-> I would put lines underneath Education/Experience/Leadership/I&A. Needs some type of separator for the eyes.
-> Too much white space; decrease margins and spaces in between sections. Will give you more space to..
-> Quantify. There are no numbers in any of your job responsibilities. How many? How much? Can you quantify that value that you added?
-> For first bullet point.. Needs more info. I have no idea what you actually did; very blanket statements. Sounds like it was an interesting experience -- expound upon it.
-> For second bullet point.. Use numbers instead of words (e.g., "12" instead of twelve, "50" instead of fifty). Can you quantify how better the students did while you were a TA (e.g., average 1-2 letter grade improvement)?
-> For third bullet point.. How many people did you do taxes for? Did you get any people who requested to be with you/any customer service awards? This is an awesome experience that you can beef up.
-> For first leadership experience.. How many stocks did you pitch? What sector? Percentage change of members as a result of your recruitment efforts? Too qualitative, again.
-> For second leadership experience.. Founded the club needs to be its own bullet point, too important. Competing at a national level needs to be expanded upon, as that is really cool. Need more detail on budgets (did you actively manage it? Give $$ numbers).
-> For third leadership experience.. How many articles did you write? What subjects did you focus on?
-> For Interests.. Be specific about Europe (Western/Eastern/both). If you have indie music/reading, make sure to be prepared with examples. Same goes for current affairs. I would try to put more specific interests, if you have any.
Hopefully that helps. Very rough but make sure to quantify and take care of all of that white space.

To me, I see a lot of white space. I would also consider going to your school's career services and finding a really nice resume template to copy.
