Setting a path to the user running the script?

Question

I have a PowerShell script that I am running to do some updates to some distribution lists. Right now in my script I have it set to output the .CSV files to the following folder:

c:\user\stpierrepa\documents

I am looking to have this path change based on the user that is running the script, so if I use my admin account the path would automatically switch to the following:

c:\users\adminstpierrepa\documents

I have tried using the %userprofile% but it gives me an error, and have looked up different variants so far without much luck. So I am reaching out to the community for some pointers on how to do this.

Thank you in advance for your help.
