Is the following sentence grammatically correct:
"Alice on our team has been excellent in managing tasks."
I'd rather substitute "from" or "in" instead of the "on" in this sentence. Can someone please help me understand which usage is correct in this example.

Prepositional usage is idiosyncratic, with even apparently near-identical structures not being similarly available.
Both on our team and in our team are grammatical and used; on our team seems to be the more common choice according to these Google Ngrams (though the two seem equally common in British works).
There are over 300 000 Google hits for both everyone on our team and everyone in our team (though Ngrams paint a different picture). But I'm quite familiar with this type of post-modifier; neither prepositional usage can be considered incorrect.
