What is the meaning of "a mi vez"?
I saw a sentence.
Reflexioné mucho en ese momento sobre las aventuras de la jungla y a mi vez logré trazar con un lápiz de colores mi primer dibujo.
I know the literal meaning is "at my time".
What is the meaning of "a mi vez" in the above sentence?

I would never say "y a mi vez logré" it sounds strange to me.
I would say "y a la vez logré" that means: "and at the same time I managed..."

'A mi vez', 'a tu vez', 'a su vez' etc. (all persons are possible) are very rarely used in spoken language, unless in well educated environments. More often (although not that much either) you'll see them in written language.
Some examples: 'Mi abuelo enseñó a mi padre a pescar, mi padre, a su vez, me enseñó a mí y yo, a mi vez, a mis hijos'. 'Ella me habló de su familia y yo, a mi vez, le hablé de la mía'.
In your sentence, 'a mi vez' could be 'when it was my turn' or 'in due time' or something like that. For a more accurate translation I would need more context.

In my opinion it this context " y a mi vez" would mean "and at the same time" There might me a better translation for it though...
