I am new to wordpress development. I was trying to solve the problem of adding extra fields to my wordpress user profile area. I achieved this with a plugin. How do I call the value of these fields on my custom dashboard page template for logged in users, like so: <a href=""><?php echo $profile_field_name ?></a>.

You can use get_user_meta Function. for exp in your case :

$profile_field_name = '';    
if (get_user_meta( $user_id, 'profile_field_name', true )){
     $profile_field_name = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'profile_field_name', true );
    };

then you can echo like your example :

<a href=""><?php echo $profile_field_name ?></a>
