Need lots of formatting. Does not look good especially at the lower part of the resume. I would make the entire thing Garamond with size 12. That would take more space and would look better
Also 3.3 is tad low. Attach something write next to it that is higher (current-term GPA, major GPA, junior year GPA, etc.)
GPA is on the low side but not a deal-breaker, so as someone suggested, you could take courses within your major and compute a separate "Major GPA" An example of this would look like GPA: Cumulative: 3.3, Major: 3.7 Since you got A grades in your finance, economics and math classes, I'd assume this would be higher than 3.3...
Also, I'm guessing your SAT scores are average or below average (which is why you left them off), but if you actually have good scores (e.g. 700+ in each section), then you should put them on.
Definitely not something that you want to send to a Company. You need to really work on it. A Resume shouldn't look like this.
I think your first education bullet point is unconvincing and unspecific. Remove it and use the extra space to talk about why the Banana Scholarship for academic excellence is selective enough that I should care.
Look at every word and see if you can cut it. Don't say "aided in 31-page pitch book completion", say "helped assemble pitch book". Say "assisted" less.
Lose the tildes. "combined with relationship management" doesn't say much.
Second marketing bullet point says little in many words.
What's a "12,000+ twitter feed"? Lose the tilde.
List other activities in reverse chronological order - switch points two and three.
There should be the same amount of vertical space after the first/second heading as there is after the third heading.
Don't switch from '-ed' to '-ing'.
Volunteer work is not a complete sentence.
"Independently studied" instead of "read" for Pignataro.
