She is widely regarded as one of the most influential intellectual figures of the early Federation. Known for her prolific writing, she produced dozens of treatises, essays, and monographs.

As a politician, she was a lifelong member of the Federal Humanist Party. She was involved in the administrations of multiple Presidents, including Augustus Strong and Felipe de Almagro. In that capacity, she was a leading figure in the development and analysis of the 1703, 1708, and 1718 Censuses.

Sociological Work
Tejero is widely cited as one of the most influential sociological researchers in Nouvelle Alexandrie. She transformed earlier efforts into social studies from a philosophical and anecdotal to a systematic and empirical discipline. Her set of methodologies, which have since become known as the Aldurian School, involve both quantitative population data and qualitative cultural observation as the main methods of research.
During her work for the National Census, she initiated numerous innovations for social studies, including comparative analysis, advanced population categorization, embedded observation (made famous by her six-month temporary residence in New Luthoria, at the time a new Region of Nouvelle Alexandrie), and long-term demographic and cultural tracking.
In her work as Director of the NASB, she was involved in developing the National Censuses. She developed new interpretive frameworks that allowed census data to be used for cultural analysis, economic planning, and institutional reform. Her insistence on methodological rigor and cultural integrity set lasting standards for research efforts.
