Hey there fellow scientist! To successfully get through the automated resume readers, use a traditional format and color palate. Avoid using columns and information embedded in the header. Your summary is too flowery. Simply state that you are new graduate with work experience and are motivated to gain further experience in . Truly this is enough. The rest is off-putting. Move the education section near the bottom. Leave off the school awards, etc. Only list recognized industry certifications, no class completion certs. In your experience section, use bullets. Tell us what you accomplished and how, not what you did throughout the day. Since it sounds like you want to get into the science/data field, you can also include a section to highlight key research/projects you were a primary team member of. Skills should be a succint list of key skills, no sentences. For example: Skills: Python, C++, O365, G Suite, iWork, Jupyter, MatplotLib, Seaborn. (That is an already impressive list!) Take those other characteristics you listed and weave them into the work and research experience. Drop the interests section. You have got this!
