How to assign taxonomy field to user profile property?

Question

I want to assign a taxonomy field value to the user profile property which is fetched from ListItem. The taxonomy field is single selection valued.

The user profile property name is: Dept.

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
        {
            SPListItem item = properties.ListItem;
            string url = Convert.ToString(item[FieldNames.DepartmentUrl]);
            string title = Convert.ToString(item[FieldNames.DepartmentTitle]);
            string desc = Convert.ToString(item[FieldNames.DepartmentDescription]);

            //SPWeb newWeb = properties.Web.Webs.Add(url,title,desc,1033,Webs.Department.WebTempalate,false,false);

            List<string> nativeMembers = new List<string>();

            SPFieldUserValueCollection nMembers = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)item["oiplbNativeMembers"];

            foreach (SPFieldUserValue field in nMembers)
            {
                SPUser user = field.User;
                nativeMembers.Add(user.LoginName);
            }


            var taxonomyField = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(FieldNames.Department) as TaxonomyField;
            if (taxonomyField.AllowMultipleValues)
            {

            }
            else
            {
              var fieldValue = item[taxonomyField.Title] as TaxonomyFieldValue;    
               var fieldValue = item[taxonomyField.Title] as TaxonomyFieldValue;
                SPServiceContext contex = SPServiceContext.GetContext(properties.Site);
                UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(contex);                
                UserProfile up = upm.GetUserProfile(nativeMembers[0]);
                up["Dept"].Value = fieldValue.Label;
                up.Commit();
            }



        });

I am stuck by reaching the specific stage and don't know what do? I debugged the program and found that var fieldvalue is assigned taxonomy value successfully.

Please help.

Get TaxonomyFieldValue from the list. If it is multi-valued field, use this code to get each value

TaxonomyFieldValueCollection tfvc = Item[taxonomyField.Title] as TaxonomyFieldValueCollection; 
foreach (TaxonomyFieldValue e in tfvc)   {   if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Label))    {     // e.Label;   }   }

Here is my article which explains how to do various operations on user profile
