The only thing that doesn't sound natural is "and going to receive." You could say "and am going to receive" or ", and I'm going to receive." The rest sounds perfectly natural.

(If this were to be in writing, you would need to change the comma after your name to a period or else add "and" after that comma. This doesn't matter in a spoken interview.)
