This photo of Lingafelt won her the Miss Photogenic award, as voted on by the internet public. The image was taken by Fadil Berisha.

On August 15 2006, she competed against 50 other girls for the title of Miss Teen USA 2006 in Palm Springs, California and placed first runner-up to Katie Blair of Montana. This was North Carolina's first placement at the pageant since Ali Burr made the semi-finals in 1997. Lingafelt also won the Miss Photogenic award, for the delegate chosen by a public internet vote who most "exemplifies beauty through the lens of a camera".

As her contribution to the State Gift Auction that was held to benefit the Angel View charity, Lingafelt gave a helmet signed by all 43 Nascar Nextel Cup drivers. The helmet was sold on eBay for over $5,000, the most ever raised by a Teen USA delegate at the state auction. Lingafelt is from Concord, North Carolina. She has a 22 year old brother named Kyle and a 10 year old sister named Mackenzie. Lingafelt is a home-schooled high school student who enjoys traveling the country, web-designing, make-up artistry, dancing, and singing. At the age of 12, she was chosen to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" for President George W. Bush during his Presidential visit to Charlotte. She also sang the national anthem during the two-week Nascar racing season at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

Lingafelt is connected dating actor/musician Drake Bell, whom she first met while he was a judge of the 2006 Miss Teen USA pageant where she placed first runner-up. She can also be seen in Bell's music video for his song "I Know". Lingafelt has been occasionally seen touring with Bell, singing backing vocals in his band. Lingafelt and Bell attended the Hollywood Christmas Parade and the 2007 Kids Choice Awards together. She also had a cameo in the 2008 comedy film College, where Bell played the leading role in the film.

Recently signed as a Ford Model with Robert Black Agenzy/ AZ, Melissa is pictured as a Jovani model in CosmoGirl Prom, Seventeen Prom and Your Prom magazines.
