Run Short Code in Hook

I need to run a shortcode inside a hook:

$uemploy=do_shortcode('[pmpro_member field="Employer/School"]');

But it returns empty.

The same code runs on the same page as the WFU uploader works fine.

Alternatively, if I could pass the value to WFU via the wordpress_file_upload shortcode , and retrieve it in the hook, that would be fine.
i.e.

userdata="true"
useerdata1="'.$uemploy.'"

Any thoughts?
