Alexandria T
Administrative & Client Relations Specialist
My name is Alexandria Teixeira. In December 2014, a C4–C5 spinal cord injury from a car accident changed my life. After emergency care at Tufts Medical Center and spinal surgery, I began rehab at Spalding. The early days were the hardest—unable to move or speak, my first goal was simply to regain my voice and lung function. Through persistence, I did.
Over the past decade, I’ve made significant progress: I can sit in my chair for over 10 hours without a headrest, balance on the edge of a table, and independently position my left arm thanks to newly developed bicep strength. None of this would’ve been possible without consistent OT and PT at Project Walk Boston.
I bring to Project Walk Boston not only my administrative skills, but also a deep personal understanding of rehabilitation, perseverance, and the power of small victories. My journey has shaped me into a committed, empathetic, and resilient team member, dedicated to supporting others in their own recovery.

Known for her innovative thinking, she constantly seeks new ways to challenge her clients and approaches her work with enthusiasm and dedication.
