Add this code in your child theme's functions.php file and use this shortcode anywhere on your site to get the custom field value for your current logged in user as,
[acf_custom_field field_name="{your_acf_field_name}"]

The ACF field name comes from the ACF field setting for the field that you have created with ACF.
