Berlin began presenting in the early 1990s when she presented WildBunch on BBC One, and Cool Cube for BSkyB. She is best known for co-presenting Bad Influence! between 1992 and 1996, a video gaming series with Andy Crane on terrestrial television (ITV) at a time where Mega Drive, SNES and Game Boy products dominated the market.
Berlin then went on the host a number of other terrestrial shows, including Saturday Disney, The Big Bang, and Bits & Bytes.
She is also known for writing and hosting video gaming show Gamepad, which aired on the Bravo satellite channel between 2001 and 2004.
The show ran for four series, and was produced by the company Berlin runs with her partner Gareth Jones, another presenter who has presented shows such as How 2.
She currently works as a writer and science communicator for major museum projects such as The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, and sometimes appears on Jones's motoring podcast "Gareth Jones on Speed".

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
