Maybe make it more scanable.
There is a lot of text. Have the job titles in your experience block stand out. Maybe use point form on the descriptions.
I would try and cut down on the sentance use, and just use keywords. Most people will look at your resume for like 30 seconds.
There is a job opening at my company and I am going through resumes, now. I really dont spend too long looking at them, Certain things have to jump out right away for me.

Explore type.
This is supposed to be a first impression.

In your descriptions, I was always told not to use past tense like "I was involved..." and rather just say "Involvement in blah blah..."
Don't make them full on sentences.
Not sure about the full-justified text...I think in this case, a Lft justification would work. Consider this a work piece and show off your typography skeez. Watch for the widows and orphans and what not

(why even go to school for this right? geez)But for the most part, content and layout works. Good luck.

#1 Don't have "Name" next to your name.

Use different weights of the font to break up the city and dates you worked (bold).
Kudos on not having an objective, they are overrated.
