What do I do about the resume/cv in the Professional experiences section if I don't have any professional experience in my field?

Take work experience from outside your field and connect it by highlighting key skills. Responsibility, reliability, communication, self-sufficiency are just a few skills that you may have demonstrated in even a non-technical job.

You can do a similar thing with academic experiences you may have had: major presentations/projects, organization/leadership in extracurricular groups, etc.
