Harsh Criticism welcomed - Sophomore IB hopeful resume

Hi monkeys,

Im a sophomore at a state school and I just finished up a PWM internship this summer, but hope to get to boutique IB next summer after some networking.

Any honest advice and criticism is welcome. I'm not sure if its too wordy, has bad formatting, etc.. Please help out!

Thank you

Really like the layout/format. Like the fact that its not the standard M&I too, but just as clear.

I think a little too wordy and way too much bullet points dedicated to a PWM internship. Must be a small firm, or else you shouldn't have been able to deal with client names/performance/data. Need to "bankify" it a little bit by adding some phrases/terms.

I would also add Languages/Technical Skills/Interests to the bottom section and changing that to just an "Additional" section.
