My only concern is that when I copied and pasted this into a Word document is that it carried on to a second page and has minimal white space.
The white space is important as resumes get less than a 30 second scan through, and your work history only goes back to six years and is very short to require a second page.
Move the locations up to the same line as the company/school. Also shorten up the professiona profile and pick which bullets reflect a major accomphlishment or qualification for the position.
For example, Conducted extensive research and development & Conducted experiments and recorded data are relating to the same thing, so you could combine them into one bullet.
Just add a cover letter, no more than a paragraph, about what you have to offer to this employer.
It’s well-written.
Are there any specific benefits/accomplishments you can point to? For example,
"Improved test scores __%"
"Received a rating of 4.x out of 5 from students/teachers"
