Honestly, I'll bet no one even really looks at the objective anymore. That's why many modern resumes don't include one. There's really no need for it. It wastes precious space where you could be writing about more important things - things that a potential employer actually wants to read about. If you really want to include an objective, what you have is okay. It does sound a little bit cookie-cutter (you're able to simply plug in the name of any company between the commas - they will notice this if they actually read it). I'd make it a bit more personalized to the particular company and position that you're applying for. What you have is extremely generic. I'd also take out the word "even". That word makes it sound less professional. At any rate, what your potential employer is really interested in is your experience. Personally, I would not include an objective at all.

It's a good start but it is generic and nonspecific. You want to include why you would be an asset to the company. A resume is all about talking yourself up. A good objective would go like this.
A. What exactly are you doing?
B. What do you have to offer?
C. Why are you doing this?
For example:
(A) I am presenting to you my resume (B) which portrays my skills in ____, ____, and ____ (C) so that I may be considered to join (company name) as a valued member of the team.
Something to this effect with some more lively word choices.
Hope this helps you!
