Cusack worked as the Charitable Director for EAS until 1998, when then fiancé Bill Phillips sold the company. Ami can be seen in the promotional video entitled Body of Work which depicts the inspirational origins of the first ever Body for Life Challenge in 1997.

[edit] Survivor

At the final six tribal council, Cusack was the thirteenth contestant voted off of Survivor: Vanuatu. Ami was the fourth member of the jury. Despite the fact that Twila betrayed her, she still voted for Twila to win the $1 Million and the title of Sole Survivor. Cusack respected Twila's ability to give honest answers at the final tribal council. However, some members of the original Lopevi believed Ami based the majority of her decisions simply on gender.
