RESUME REVIEW
Appearance & Classification
At the first sight I can tell about your resume is that the font size of your name and profession is a bit big. It may show that you are confident however it also might be considered as too boastful thus, might return you as a disadvantage, you might consider making it a bit smaller.
The correct classification of the information will let you express yourself better and make it clear for the reader. If you put your professional knowledge level and the parts about your qualifications under a main heading, they will be more comprehensible.
You could gather the similar topics “programs, print media, website” together under the title of “Personal Qualifications” so that they can be seen clearly, apart from your portfolio.
Functional
It’s essential that your career expectations are stated clearly. It not clear if you want to get a job as a freelancer or to take charge in junior administrative officer position.
If you’d like to work as a freelancer, then it’s meaningful to state the expected salary, however if you don’t seek for this we don’t recommend you to state any salary in CV.
You had better state if you create the works in your portfolio personally or with a team that you lead.
Grammar
There are some grammatical mistakes, corrected and highlighted in your CV.
P.S: If you prepare your CV for a specific workplace and a specific position, then it would be much more effective to deliver it with a cover letter. See example cover letters here: what is cover letter
