Sarah- I always use an accomplishment section that focuses on specific projects, skills, etc. and then include a job list at the end. I have found that this works better in this field, because job titles, volunteer work, internships do not always fit very well in just a work experience section. Everyone is different, but from what you have said, skills not jobs are your strength and should be the first thing after your education information. I hope this helps, let me know if you would like further assistance off this list.
