  • Take out the "profile" section, I think that it is completely useless, no one will read it and you have a cover letter / email body to explain who you are and what you look for. (+ to me what you wrote is very "cliche", but that's my opinion)
  • Detail your education section. You study business, so put "relevant courses". I would also add your Dean list award as a bullet in this section, your "awards and recognition" section is very long.
  • Work experience should be just below education.
  • You seem to have done a lot of extra curricular activities in clubs, etc. You may want to detail one of those, like when you were Investment Club president - it would probably carry more weight than just participating to a Stock Market Game or a Financial Literacy competition
  • You may want to add other technicals than just the pack office, if possible
  • Add an interest section

Overall, I don't really like the formatting, especially the top and bottom of your CV. I think you would be probably better off following the industry standard (WSO/M&I template).

PS: we can see the words you tried to hide by copying and pasting them.
