Ding #1- Fail, there is a specific forum for critiquing resumes.
Ding #2- Softball? Really? Wait unless your a girl then ok.
My apologies, I thought I posted it in the resume forum.
Ha nope, I'm a guy. Softball is big in Asia for expats and it's a nice taste of Americana.
You're in the right forum. Put it on razume.com so we can actually see it without too much trouble.

Too many black spots... How can we judge your resume if we don't even know if you go to a target or not? And we don't know the names of the companies you interned at?
It's all there now. Thanks.
Format-wise it looks good. Hard to give input without knowing what you need the resume for. Is this a general review? or are you applying for a certain type of position?
HF mostly. Entry-level, just trying to get my foot in the door.
I noticed you completed the MS Commerce at UVA, could I PM you to get some insight? I have been considering this program for sometime.
Sure thing. Happy to answer any questions you have.
I've never seen the education at the bottom of the page before - why did you choose to do that? Also, you should specify what "coding" means.
I moved education lower because I am almost 3 years removed from undergrad and I have a year of full-time experience. When I left my FT job, I was told it was more important to highlight that than rest on the laurels of college.
As for the HTML section, by "coding" I mean that I have experience creating HTML websites. Is there a better way to express that? Thanks for your help.
Apologies, I thought there was a comma between "HTML" and "coding".
I think you should move the education to the top - you're still relatively entry-level (I assume you're looking at 2nd/3rd year analyst and 1st year associate positions), so your alma mater and GPA will still be the #1 and #2 things a recruiter looks at. Maybe if you were 5 years out with significant experience, it'd be a different story, but that's not really the case here.
Gracias.
Any other suggestions? I'm in talks with a number of HF right now so I want to solidify this thing before shooting it off to them. Aiming for an equities or commodities desk. Are there really any big changes I should make to differentiate between those two given my career level? Thanks.
why did you move to Macau to become an intern? Hated your job in Richmond that much?
