I would be more than happy to help and so excited to learn more (...) or I would be more than happy to help and BE so excited to learn more (...)?

Also, please remember to make it clear in post #1 what you are asking us. Don't just post a sentence. Ask a specific question or make a request.

I take the question to be:
' "I would be more than happy to help and so excited to learn more."
"I would be more than happy to help and BE so excited to learn more."
Do I have to put "be" in here? '

Generally you don't need another "be", but the more complicated the sentence is, the more likely I'd be to add another "be".
"I'd be happy to help and so excited to learn more." is good. In your original, I might leave the "be" there.

Remember, put your example sentences in quotes (as I have), and ask a question.

That doesn't sound great to me, I'm afraid. I would use "would be" instead of that second "be".

Yes, maybe. There's not a lot between them. It's grammatical.
