Should I send text message or email as first point of contact?

Hi all,

I met with an MD a few months ago at a career fair, and we had a great talk where we talked about her marriage and the job, and she had me give her my resume as well as giving me her phone number and email address. I am now going to start networking and reach out to her. Should I send a text message that mentions that we talked about her marriage and details from that and the job to hopefully kickstart her memory on who I am, or send an email utilizing the basic IB format?
