Field grew up in Brooklyn and attended Edward R Murrow High School in Midwood.

Her extensive archive of teen punk rock photography has been frequently licensed for documentaries, books, and media. After training at Fordham University, spending her junior year in London, and studying with Meisner teacher Phil Gushee in New York, Field built her career through regional theater and New York stage work, including Manhattan Theater Club, Naked Angels, and MCC, before expanding into independent film in New York and eventually finding her way to studio films and television.
