Wow, this is impressive and you just graduated! NICE WORK!

One suggestion I have would be to get a little more detailed on some points to help you really stand out. It will also help people get a firm grasp on what you can do the more detailed you are. For example:

  • "Manage project to ensure timely completion" -> What exactly did you do that helped the team stay on task?
  • "Integrate multiple complex enterprise systems to provide services that optimize and support business processes" -> What processes were supported? What systems were you working with?

I am personally a big fan of tailoring my Resume. You have A TON of awesome skills, but sometimes that makes it a little overwhelming to read. When you are applying, look at the job description and maybe try to whittle down your Skills list to those that you think would be most important for the job. That way if someone is reading your resume they can easily see you have the skills they are looking for.

When I first graduated I also put some of the relevant classes I took under my education section. Something to think about if you want. I also added notes about any organizations I was involved in or led that I thought might convey I had skills the employer was looking for.

Did I mention I LOVE your font?! :D Keep crushing it!!!

+1 to what Molly said, I wish I would had such experience to show when I graduated haha.
Definitely trimming down the skills to the most relevant for the job you're looking for is important.
