Looks great so far! Are you looking for any specific advice? I would take the interests off the bottom - it's irrelevant. As you have more accomplishments to flesh out you may want to remove oldest experiences too, such as Macy's, which are not relevant to your current career search. Also, anywhere that you started and finished an experience in the same year, ex. 2012, you do not need to list the year twice. (May -- December 2012)
I agree with Michelle on unrelated experience, I would delete the first bullet under Macy's and then leave it alone. Have to disagree with removing interests as I have always found it to be a great interview conversation starter.
This may be a personal opinion but I feel that this particular font is an eyesore when italicized. Solicit more opinions on that.
"Stats 215" will be useless to any interviewer that did not graduate from your school in the last few years.
You may have deleted it for privacy, but I read about your AM firm and still have no idea what it does. Debt? Equity? Cocoa futures? No idea at all.
Delete second IT bullet.
Consider increasing font size.
Consider adding content to investment group.
I'm not sure how others would feel about this, but I think listing WordPress under technical skills is kind of an insult to technical skills. I'm sure there are contexts where it is useful, and I know nothing about it whatsoever, but it just looks silly there. IMO, it's akin to listing twitter as a technical skill, but check with others.
Overall looks fine, my main gripe is the readability caused by small font size and unusual font, especially italics.

Looks much better.
Use a dash rather than a hyphen for dates. I think the single biggest improvement to be made at the moment is adding more white space. It looks quite cluttered. Imagine yourself trying to read it as the 50th resume in one sitting - maybe unfair to judge it on this, but I've done it.
Thanks Wellington. I'll definitely change the dashes for the dates. What about for everything else though, like in separating my GPA/SAT/ACT?
I think if anything I'll just remove a line or two to add some white space like you said. Appreciate it a lot.
