There was a professor I had just over two years ago now. She taught two undergraduate classes I was in and I loved her lectures! I still think about stories and advice she gave us to this day. Now that I’m starting my PhD in an adjacent field to hers, I want to thank her but the problem is — I literally never talked to her and never made enough of an impression for her to remember me. Yes I know I am so late I should’ve said something earlier :,)

Is it weird if I send an email just expressing my thanks briefly? Is it needed? It’s so strange knowing someone affected your academic journey in fairly large ways but they don’t even know you

Edit: I appreciate the answers! I have gone ahead and sent the email <3
