Is this sentence correct

It's my pleasure to join this team and am all excited and ready to take the new role.
  

Top answer

No, the two verbs -- is (from "it's) and am -- must have the same subject. "Excited" is too strong and has other connotations. " If you do, you may drop ready, since if you didn't think you were ready, you wouldn't be eager.
