Help Me with my Resume Please

So here is the situation. In UG I always assumed that I was going to go on to get a PhD in mathematics or go to law school. I decided to to neither, but this kinda bit me in the ass, cause I never went about and got internships in finance. I took on average 19 credits a semster of pure math and physics (at my ug), while commuting 4 hrs a day and working, so I was wondering if I should work that into my cover letter.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Objective is pretty useless

Your research is a little over my head and seems to diminish your participation in the project. I would rewrite it in more understandable terms and focus on what you did and what the project was about. You make it sound like you're a data entry intern- I am sure you did more impressive things.

Your work experience needs to be spun into something more impressive. The way you have it laid out, I totally missed that you were a Professor at Loyola- it looked like you were a tutor only. The descriptions need to be longer and better worded.

Awards don't have to be in a column, a line would suffice and free up space.

Your format is confusing at points, like the education made me overlook that you double majored in college, and I'm guessing that the GPA is your cumulative? Specify

Even though you obviously have a Master's in Math, this template would still help alot.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
