"fluent in english"... check every resume review ever on this site. Get rid of that.
Your GPA is really, really low; let alone for a non-target school in florida in the softest of science majors. You need to deal with that first and foremost.
Your relevant courses aren't that relevant (Labor Econ, Stats, Ethics, Management, Micro def. shouldn't be there)
I feel like your tooting your own horn too much with the SA position "worked DIRECTLY with MD on MULTIPLE M&A deals", so re-evaluate and make sure you're making claims that can be backed up with facts and figures.
Finally, you should put your resume on Razume in M&I format for WSO reviews, it's just the accepted practice here.
Agree with everything Gestion said.
Weak GPA for bio at a non-target.
These 2-3 "deals" you worked on, what size were they? Quantify these transactions, even if they were potential ones. You don't have a single quantified result on your resume. Did you do any valuations/modeling at this SA job?
Don't use "my" or "I".
Need better/more diverse action verbs..Actually just all of your wording in general.
Rate your resume? 3 out of 10.
I also give 3 out of 10
1) non-target 2) weak gpa
I will give the kid 5 out of 10. Don't be so harsh guys.
"Helped source a deal in an growth sector" should be "Helped source a deal in a growth sector" ... also I would strongly question the validity of this statement and you would likely get grilled on this in an interview... how did you help to source the deal?
My cousin was the financial consultant on the other end, that's how I sourced it.

Agrees with everything above... 1. "Research Assistant, College of Arts and Sciences August, 2009– Present" You need a space after 2009. 2. Mergers and acquisitionS (missing s in the end) 3. Numerous grammar errors
2 out of 10
With respect, your resume represents your face in the recruiting process. It shouldn't be in homework quality. Look at a few resumes around here. Try to copy some of their verbs/phrases. You have interesting experiences it wouldn't take that much work to significantly improve this.
