If you are talking about the past, the correct phrase is “proud of being”. If you are talking about the present or future, the correct phrase is “proud to be”.
However, you should use “proud to be” because it is used when the speaker is proud of achieving something, and when something good happens to the speaker.
The reason for this is that “to be” is the auxiliary verb to take the present perfect tense when using the present perfect continuous tense.
