Or even drop the pronouns: "Profile" works just fine.

As a further improvement it should be "Go to my profile: click here".

Why not make "Go to my profile" the clickable link?

I'm tempted to suggest the next logical extension would be "Go to my profile: click here <-- HEY! That was the link!" :-S
